Question : So think I overdosed a couple of times on cocaine in a few days. but still breathing. how long can it take before heart attack or so?

Brief Answer:
Soon , imediately after ingested.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

The cocaine may cause a heart attach soon after ingested. It makes heart to beat faster , narrows the blood vessels causing the heart to beat harder also causing extra stress on heart and heart attach can be possible also.
I think you are not at risk now because the first moment has gone.

Hope I have answered the question.
